26 Things To Consider For Your Future

Posted: 27th January 2011 by Ryan Renfrew in Personal development

It was my birthday on Sunday, I turned 26. I was tempted to write a “26 things I’ve learned in life so far” style of post. Then I thought about it for a second and came to the conclusion that I shouldn’t.

Instead I am looking to the future…

Here are my 26 things to pay attention to in the next 26 years.

I began my blogging debut like I would approach any other project. By creating a plan. Now, I know by experience that the best way to create a plan is not to start from scratch, but to look for a plan that has already been established and is working for someone else– after all there is no pint in reinventing the wheel, right?

ands up if your fed up and pissed off hearing about all this 20eleven goal setting?

ME, I AM!

Let me get this clear… goal setting is the bomb, I believe goal setting is THE single best thing you can do for yourself. FACT!

I heard a great quote from the legendary Zig Ziglar today.

“Give me a store clerk with a goal and I’ll give you a man who will make history. But Give me a man with no goals and I’ll give you a stock clerk”

But guys… we are almost 3 weeks into 20eleven. If I read another goal related post my head will explode. I my self wrote a goal related post only last week Goal Setting Gone Wrong…and for that I apologise… “My Goals for 2011 s” style posts are getting to be soooo twenty10. I know their great, and by doing so we hold ourselves acountable and all that but lets save it for 2012.

Its not usual that I post on a Sunday, but I have today!!! And I am gonna do something a little different and hopefully run this as regular Sunday feature.

As you may have guessed from the title, this feature contains a medley of all things weird and wonderful, a round up of the week of things that I think may be of interest to you. (If they arent please tell me so in the comment section.)

I was lucky enough to come across an awesome blog at Traindom.com run by Peep Laja. Here Peep interviews many of the big na

Goal Setting Gone Wrong

I have just returned from a fantastic goal setting seminar A Present To Your Future by Micheal Colhoun – certified trainer of NLP and instructor of Kundalini Yoga. It was at this seminar that I discovered some home truths about my goal setting techniques I was blissfully unaware of. Ya’ see, over the years I’ve read a fair few books on goal setting and NLP and believed I have a sound understanding of the subject. Actually, truth being told I thought I understood soooo much about the goal setting process that I could skip a few steps. Oooops! Bad move.

A lot of us up and coming bloggers work insanely hard to create killer content, to form and nurture our online relationships and to drive traffic with the goal of reaching a point where our blogs become ‘sticky’. For a blog to become ‘sticky’ it needs a certain amount of traction before it really ignites and is launched into stratospheric success. Think of a car wheel spinning on a load of gravel – going nowhere, but as soon as the spinning wheels are given a chance a connect with a tiny bit of tarmac, the car shoots off like a thundering rocket – huge acceleration, huge momentum. And that my fiend is what I want to do with my blog. But not only my blog, YOUR BLOG TOO.

I DON’T LIKE PROBLEMS! SO I FOUND THE SOLUTION

Last week I was drawing some comparisons between my offline business (personal training) and my online business. And I found some really great, and easy to implement ideas.

I started this blog little over three –very short – months ago and back then my phase 1 objective was to create awesome content, phase two was to generate some traffic, not a lot, just some super awesome people with similar goals, attitudes and dreams to my mine. And phase 3 – make it sticky – build a core group of commentators.
